Guidance on Use of Cloth Face Coverings to Prevent Community Spread of Respiratory Diseases and COVID-19
The following guidance on the use of cloth face coverings is in accordance with CDC recommendations. The wearing of cloth face coverings is considered an additional public health measure to help reduce community transmission of respiratory diseases and COVID-19. The use of cloth face coverings should be used in conjunction with other protective measures including but not limited to:
- Staying at home whenever possible.
- Recognizing symptoms and isolating self when sick.
- Practicing social distancing (minimum 6’ away) in public during essential activities.
- Washing your hands frequently (proper hand hygiene).
If unable to wash hands, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains 60 to 95% alcohol, covering all surfaces of your hands and rubbing them together until they feel dry. Note: The use of soap and water for hand washing is preferred over alcohol-based hand sanitizer. - Avoiding touching your face with unwashed hands.
- Increasing disinfection of high touch surfaces (doorknobs, keyboards, desktops, copiers, refrigerator handles, phones, etc.).
The CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies) especially in areas of significant community-based transmission. When wearing cloth face coverings, it should:
- Fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face ensuring that it covers your nose and mouth.
- Allow for breathing without restriction.
- Be secured with ties or ear loops.
- Include multiple layers of fabric.
- Be able to be laundered and machine dried without damage or change to shape.
- Do not share cloth face coverings.
- When not in use, store in a dry clean bag.
Additional consideration when wearing a cloth face coverings would include:
- Cloth face coverings should not be placed on young children under age 2.
- Anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.
- The cloth face cover is meant to protect other people in case you are infected.
- Do NOT use a facemask meant for a healthcare worker.

Disinfectant Measures
Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that can cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 or 2019-nCoV) and is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans.
Current understanding about how the COVID-19 virus spreads is largely based on what is known about similar coronaviruses. The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person by respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes who are in close contact with one another. Even though this is not the main way the COVID-19 virus is spread, it may be possible for a person to get it by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes.
For frequently touched surfaces or objects such as: counters, tabletops, workstations, doorknobs, bathroom fixtures, toilets, phones, keyboards, tablets, desks, chairs, and tables or any other hard surface, the use of a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) household cleaning spray or wipe can be used on COVID-19. When using cleaning sprays or wipes, be sure to follow the precautions, application directions, and contact time according to the label instructions to ensure the safe and effective use of the product.
A list of pre-approved EPA registered household cleaning sprays or wipe products that can be used on the COVID-19 virus can be found at: https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-registration/list-n-disinfectants-use-against-sars-cov-2.
In order to minimize the spread of the COVID-19 or any other virus, the following precautionary measures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) should be followed:
- Frequent handwashing for at least 20 seconds with soap and water especially after touching any blister or sore, before preparing food and eating, and after using the toilet.
- Clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains 60 to 95% alcohol, covering all surfaces of your hands and rubbing them together until they feel dry. Note: The use of soap and water hand washing is preferred over alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
- Avoid close contact (kissing, hugging, sharing utensils, etc.) with those who are sick.
- Keep those who are sick away from others until they are well.
- Cover mouth and nose with a tissue when sneezing or coughing.
- Properly dispose of used tissues and nappies into waste bins that close properly.
- Maintain general cleanliness.

PI Pre-Planning
We are all eager to get back to full research capacity, but in order to stay safe and prevent illness, a slow, methodical approach to restarting laboratory work is necessary. In addition to practicing social distancing (maintain 6 feet distance) and good hygiene methods, we must also consider laboratory safety and prudent practices. There are steps you can take now to help ease the transition and keep your lab safe.
- Develop a plan for research
Community spread of COVID-19 will still be a primary concern even when restrictions are lifted and we can access campus facilities. Research activities in your lab will need to be prioritized based upon your specific research goals. Planning can begin now to determine the order in which operations can be restarted and which activities need to take priority.
- The New Norm for Laboratory Etiquette
Everyone must adhere to social distancing but also maintain a higher level of hygiene for the safety of all lab members. - When entering the lab space
- Wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds
- Put on PPE (in this order safety glasses, lab coat and gloves)
- When exiting the lab
- Remove PPE (in the order gloves, lab coat, safety glasses)
- Wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds
- Open door to exit without touching handle (Paper towel, elbow etc.)
- Assign staggered work schedules
Depending on University guidance, the lab may not be able to work at full capacity for the foreseeable future. Staggered work schedules will help reduce the number of people in the laboratory, as well as the number of individuals in a building sharing common areas Things to consider when planning schedules: - How much time in the laboratory is needed to carry out specific research?
- Do lab members have office or desk space in the laboratory?
- Is there high hazard work going on in the laboratory?
- If so, lab members should not work alone or conduct those research activities after hours.
- Is your laboratory setup with an open floorplan (for example, labs in COM or EOAS)?
- If so, reach out to the other PIs with whom you share a space and work through scheduling together.
- Work with your department to discuss shared facilities
It may be easy to maintain social distance within your laboratory, but common areas will be more of a challenge. For example, do your lab members utilize common equipment, such as microscopy rooms or core facilities? Since these areas are accessed by more people, there is a greater potential for spread of illness. Core facility managers will need to maintain a schedule and researchers will need to adhere to that schedule. In addition, the same protocol for personal safety will be used in these facilities along with any additional procedures outlined by the core facility managers. Similarly break rooms and grad student offices will need access restricted or staggered operating hours. Since this impacts other labs on your floor and in your building, reach out to your department for guidance.
- Inventory and order supplies
We can expect shortages of supplies for the next several months, especially common laboratory items like gloves. You may need to consider if your laboratory has enough supplies on hand to get restarted. If not, now is the time to begin placing orders, as it may take much longer than anticipated to receive. University supplied stations will be resupplied by inventories from our Building Services Department.
- Questions?
This list is not exhaustive, and many other things need your attention. The goal is to begin thinking about the best ways to return to research and keep everyone safe. If you have questions, please feel free to reach out to us at EH&S, we’re happy to help.
Laboratory Walkthrough Checklist
This list is meant to be a guide for a walkthrough of your laboratory to evaluate its status following hibernation and identify any potential disruptions to your research or facilities and safety concerns.
Grad Student Guide
We are all eager to get back to work, but in order to stay safe and prevent illness, we all need to practice social distancing and good hygiene habits, in addition to smart laboratory safety. Here are a few tips for staying safe in the lab.
- Keep your distance.
Maintain at least 6 feet of distance between yourself and others. This is especially important when sharing laboratory equipment, like fume hoods. Whenever possible, plan activities to avoid close contact with others.
- Working alone in hazardous situations should always be avoided.
It is important to maintain social distancing, but it’s never a good idea to work in the laboratory alone. If you plan to conduct high hazard work, make sure someone else is available to work with you. Let someone know where you are and how long you plan to be. Establish scheduled check-ins with other laboratory members, either by phone or web conference.
- Wash your hands.
Wash with soap and water for at least 20 seconds throughout the day:- Before and after eating or touching your face
- After touching common equipment like computers, doorknobs, etc.
- After removing gloves
- Before and after using common areas, like break rooms or kitchens
- After touching your cell phone or headphones or door handles
- Clean and disinfect your cell phone.
Cell phones are notorious for harboring germs. Specific manufacturers have developed guidance for cleaning their devices, which can be found on their respective websites (for example, Apple posted information at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207123). The CDC also posted general cleaning guidelines for personal electronic devices at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/cleaning-disinfection.html.
- If you’re sick, stay home.
Contact your supervisor immediately and let them know. Additionally, if you have any roommates who are ill or come into close contact with anyone who is sick, you should avoid coming into work.
- Practice good hygiene with PPE
PPE is a great tool to help keep you safe in the laboratory, but to prevent the spread of illness, there are some enhanced precautions you should take.- Don’t share PPE, especially items like face shields and safety eyewear.
- Clean and disinfect non-disposable PPE both before and after using.
- Keep up with your lab coat and send it out for frequent cleanings.
- Be mindful of surfaces you touch with your gloves (i.e. keyboards, cell phones) and change them out frequently.
- Face masks do not protect from chemical hazards.
Face masks, like surgical masks or homemade fabric masks, can be used to reduce the spread of illness, but they do not offer protection for chemical or vapor hazards. If you have inhalation hazards in your laboratory, make sure you work in a properly ventilated device.

Supplies for Cleaning & Disinfecting
The University is committed to enhancing and maintaining a clean, safe, and sanitary work environment for all academic, administrative, and support buildings. During this health emergency, Building Services may be restricted at times only providing limited services to customers and buildings where there is activity. Once it is determined that an area is deemed essential or returned to normal use, Building Services staff will continue to provide enhanced cleaning on a regular basis.
Bolstering the cleaning and disinfection efforts of Building Services may be necessary in work and instructional space due to high activity or use. If deemed necessary, Deans, Directors, and Department Heads may desire to implement additional cleanings of their workspace to be performed by their own staff. Departments that do implement additional cleaning and disinfection should follow CDC guidelines. Additionally, the University has developed a cleaning and disinfection "Best Practices" document with some general guidance and relevant links that may be of assistance.
The following list of items can be used to help maintain your work area:
- Disinfectant Wipes
- Hand Sanitizers
- General Disinfectant
- Disposable Cleaning Towel
- Hand Soap
Procurement Services is working to establish a buying guide that will link COVID related cleaning and disinfecting products to SpearMart allowing departments the ability to order from a list of cleaning/disinfecting product’s and other supplies that may be needed for work. Instructions for ordering supplies will be available May 22, 2020 at procurement.fsu.edu. Although it is important to have access to the proper supplies and equipment to do work, it is equally as important to align the needs of your work with appropriate protective measures.
In general, if you have frequent transactional interaction with students, staff, faculty or the public, it may be necessary to take additional steps to create barriers from those in which you interact. If your work does not include frequent interactions with groups or co-workers, you should adhere to the CDC guidelines for social distancing, wearing cloth face coverings, and frequent hand washing.
Please work with Procurement (procurement@fsu.edu) on the purchasing of any cleaning and disinfecting products.
